WORCESTER Warriors' uncapped forward James Collins has been called into the England Sevens squad for the New Zealand and USA IRB World Sevens Series.
Collins, 22 next month, is joined by former Worcester player Ben Gollings in the 12-man set-up.
England coach Ben Ryan said: "The squad certainly looks to have the X' factor, packed full of game breakers and if we continue to gel as we have, then our impact over these next two tournaments should be considerable."
The New Zealand competition is on February 1 and 2, while the USA event is on February 9 and 10.
England squad: Matt Banahan (Bath), John Brake (Northampton), Danny Care (Harlequins), Collins, Isoa Damudamu (Newbury), Anthony Elliott (Bristol), Ayoola Erinle (Leicester), Gollings (Toyota, Japan), Simon Hunt (Ebbw Vale), Dominic Shabbo (London Irish), Andy Vilk (Sale), Tom Youngs (Leicester).
